Rich Hill Review :—As to Butler getting the Chicago and Alton road, it is of ne consequence to Rich Hill whatever. This city will get the | road, no matter who does or does not. Indeed, if we are permitted to | express the opinion given by a lead- ing official ot the road not long ago, the chances of Butler obtaining the | road by moderate exertion and pe- @cuniary assistance to the project, is guite favorable. convention sure And now comes T.

That’s the way the money goes. on Mrs. Pilgrim of Charlotte town- ship came to Butler a few days since on her way to Rich Hill to visit her daughter. While here she was taken down with typhoid pneumonia, and is now lying in a very critical condi- tion at the house of the Rev. Mr. Exley. We understand she is a little better this morning. The Times says Butler has a ‘sand stone querry.’ It’s_a ‘querry’ what it is. The Journal-Demoerat should make inquiry. Do Adams belong to the sandstone age or is it Chawles? —[Mining Review. In the clasic language of the Re- view, Adams do belong to the sand- age, and supposes, judging from the softness of the Review man, that he belo Mr. John Duff visited the Fox farm coal mine on yesterday, and measured the thickness of the vein, and he confirms all that we have heretofore said in relation to this He brought back with him | in stone zs to the soapstone age. pied tidal 8 mine. several specimens that surpass quality any that we have seen betore.

Mr. Mize enjoys a wide reputation as a salesman and business man, and with all we know him to be a perfect gentleman. —Mr. F. Allen goes to Neva- da this week for the purpose of se- curing a room in that city where he will establish a large music store in the interest ot Wm. E. Walton & Co. This firm has conaucted a very successful business im this city during the past year and more, and only sold out recently because Mr. Allen was contemplating going to Oregon.

Come up, Crockett, and take a peep, old fel. The Sunday school mass meeting held in the Christian church on the afternoon of Sunday last, was a grand success. Everybody that at- tended was delighted, and the audi- ence was large, we are pleased to hear. The young tolks Christian Asso- ciation met on Sunday in the Ohio street M. E. church. As usual a large number of ladies and gentle- men were present, and the meeting was an interesting one. We are gratified to learn that thfs new feature im Sunday’s religious exercises in Butler is becoming quite popular and we hope to see the association pros- per. Mr. George Todd has purchased three-eights of a mile of the creek easts of the city running north from the pond used for baptizing to the Tron bridge on which he is now er- ecting an ice house. Mr. Todd pro- poses, the weathr permitting, to fur- nish the city with ice the coming sum- mer. We hope that the fluid will ; cozgeal sufficiently to enable those who may be prepared to keep it, to gather a good crop to slake our thirst. We expect to get pretty dry this sum- mer. The engine for the electric light was brought to the city on Saturday and will be put down on the lot in the rear of Hurley’s lumber yard. It is said to be a splendid piece of machinery. We are truly glad that we are soon to have the electric again in all of its brightness. It 1s a great convenience and we have missed it very much. We trust our people will patronize the enterprise liberally. The promoters of the project have expended a considerable amount of money to perfect it, and deserve the | support of our people.

The proposition is selt-evident. Ye monied men of Butler, dream of this in your slumbers. | On Saturday last Mr. J. F. Me- Times office a specimen of the coal taken trom the Fox farm mine.

Sherman, whose mining ness arrangements for that trip, he | experience covers a period of twelve years; Mr. Lyon, a gentleman of sixteen years experience; deputy surveyor Trapp of Butler and others, all of whom pronounce the specimen to be of the finest quality and the best that ever was taken from a Mis- souri coal] mine. Neitherof the aboye named gentlemen haye any interest in the mine and are known to be h igh toned, truthful men, and their state- ments in regard to the quality of this coal are free from the exaggeration and gush that characterizes the state- ments of some people in reference to such matters. The specimen is a lump of considerable size, and what is yery unusual, is that the specimen, and so it is with all the coal taken from this mine, that layers or strat- as of the finest cannel coal are plain- ly to be seen. There is considerable torce employed in the mine at pres- ent, and as the work of opening pro- gresses the yein increases in thick- We understand ness and quality. that Mr. Fox, the owner of the mine, intends to thoroughly open it, and is making extensive preparauons with that end in view.
